So, you logged into your VA.gov account to check the status of your VA claim and you see a statement that says, “we closed the notice for request 6.”
What the heck does that mean?
- First, you do not need to do anything if you see this message (they are internal VA notes between VA employees).
- Second, do not panic; it simply means your VA claim is moving toward completion.
We closed the notice for request 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 are internal VBA notes from the Veteran Service Representative (VSR) assigned to your claim.
They are telling the VA Rater (RVSR) one of the following:
- The VSR opened a request for more evidence
- The VSR opened a request for military records
- The VSR opened a request for a C&P exam
- The VSR closed the request for more evidence
